As part of my effort to reduce my global footprint, I've begun to recycle everything. In my desire to reuse my ever-empty glass cleaner bottles, I checked the internet for popular recipies for the like. Found a handful of recipes I liked, modified them all into my own mess, then made my own glass cleaner. The recipe is below:
In order to remove the current branding on the spray bottle, and encourage re-use, I designed these replacement labels. See my pictured example for inspiration. You will get 4 labels on one sheet of sticker paper, giving you double-sided coverage of 2 bottles. Also, I used cyan ink from my inkjet printer to dye the cleaner, cause who has food dye?
I used the glass cleaner immediately, and found it to be nearly an exact match, down to the window cleaner smell, and it works great. I like that it's an all-natural(-ish) solution to a common problem. I use window cleaner everywhere, and this will save me money from purchasing refills.
